at an overpotential of 150 mV, which is higher than those of Ru/NC, Ru/BC and Ru/C, respectively. Density functional theory calculation results demonstrate that the Ru-B formed interfacial chemical bond can regulate the electronic structure of Ru active sites of Ru/NBC, which can facilitate the adsorption of water and hydrogen in alkaline media. This work provides a feasible strategy to fabricate outstanding electrocatalysts for the HER in alkaline/alkaline seawater electrolytes.
